I have the following search engines in Firefox:

amazondotcom
answers
askjeeves
creativecommons
dictionarycom
duck_duck_go
duck_duck_go_ssl
eBay
google
google_ssl
imdb
ixquick-ssl
ixquick
newegg
scroogle-ssl
scroogle
webster
wikipedia
yahoo

If Konqueror uses the same xml file format for search engines, then just grab those from Firefox, modify as necessary and be done.

Something like this is not a code-critical change and (unless Tim objects) I can push the changes to GIT. But somebody needs to test the final package and vouch that each search engine actually works before I'll do that. :)
